This is a story about Latha- a second-generation Indian living with her family in US. Latha is at crossroads in her life. She doesn't want to take the career her parents want for her but doesn't know her calling yet. Every so often people walk on paths not chosen by themselves because they are not sure of themselves. It is relatively easy to do when we know what we want, but it takes patience and strength to take time to figure out what really excites us. This story is about being honest with oneself about our dreams and having the courage to make them come true.

The casting is spot on. All the actors have done pretty good job. The story flows smoothly and gives you subtle surprises to make you stay engaged with the characters until the very last scene. The few dialogues in Telugu add touch of authenticity to the film. The main Telugu song is luxurious and very well shot. It beautifully captures the Indian colors and classical dance moves. It was very nostalgic for me.

A sweet, funny, colorful, romantic film. Watch it if you are missing your family!
